Play the song as you read 😊

Two weeks had passed since that day in his bedroom with Maxx and to be honest, Danny had never felt any better.

He was no longer warring with himself, imagining different scenarios about how he could've handled the situation with Max.

They've finally settled everything after three years and Danny couldn't be any happier.

He had also talked to Oliver, Colby's brother and had straightened everything out with him. Danny no longer wanted to feel guilty, no matter how miniscule, over a family having disputes with each other.

He had even begged Maxx to forgive Dalton and Colby for what they'd done and Maxx had asked him to do the same because he knew how spiteful Danny could be.

To be honest, he had no problems with it.

He forgave them but there's no way that he's forgetting the heartache that they'd cause him, long time coming or not.

And now? He had gone out with the family to a massage parlour where he was currently being pampered. He had one week left before his Alpha came for him or he would receive a letter saying that he was unsuccessful and that he should try again next year.

He wasn't too worked up about it.

"Hmmm," he groaned as his feet were being massaged by a very talented Beta lady.

He was getting over Maxx and he couldn't be happier.

Maxx who?

Hahaha, okay, he wasn't that cold hearted but still, he was moving on and in was about time in his opinion.

Three years were long enough.

"Dan Dan, look! Look at my pretty nails! " Kylies' giggling brought him out of his thoughts and he turned his head, eyes half-lidded to look at her nails.

He smiled at the sight. "Whoa, they are really pretty. Think I should have mine done like that?"

Kylie giggled and shook her head. "Noooo, this is for kids, silly."

He chuckled softly, looking at her with affection as she turned back to look at the nail lady, yammering away in excitement while said lady was looking at her, a smile on her face as she nodded along to whatever Kylie was saying.

He turned back around and sighed softly as the lady massaged oil into his feet.

He really needed this. It's been a while since he'd gotten a full body massage so having this outing with the family was just what he needed.

What he didn't need was the constant looks of longing that his Mum sent his way.

Yeah, he knew that she hated the thought of him leaving but he hadn't had any time to himself these past two weeks.

Every member of his family was embracing their soft side and to be honest, he was scared as hell.

Levi, Phoebe and Andy invaded his bed every night to cuddle up against him. Kylie would've done the same if she wasn't such a Mummy's girl. She slept in their parents' room almost every night.

Speaking of his siblings, they were all seated next to him as their got Manicures and Pedicures done. They hadn't wanted to be too far away from him incase his Alpha showed up and kidnapped him.

Crazy? Yeah, he knew, but he couldn't fault them. In a weeks time, he might be leaving them and moving who knows how far away.

"Hey, Danny, you okay?" He was brought out of his thoughts once more, but by Phoebe's voice.

"Hmm?" He hummed, turning his head to look at her.

Phoebe's eyebrows furrowed in worry and she looked about to jump up out of her seat. "Are you okay? Do you need to go home and lie down?"

Danny sighed at the note of worry in her voice and he shook his head, groaning softly when the lady put pressure on where he was massaging.

It felt so good.

"No, no. I'm okay, just lost in thought. Not to mention, I'm getting a killer foot massage." He sent her a reassuring smile and was happy to see her noticeably relax.

Sometimes, his siblings were annoying but they had their loving side and it was showing right now.

God, he would miss them.

After they all got their full body massages, their parents took them to a restaurant where they were given permission to order whatever they wanted and that was what they did.

Danny ordered Seafood dishes such as Lobster, Octopus, Shrimp etc while his siblings either stuck to Vegetarian, Sweets or the Classics.

Their parents just looked on with affectionate smiles on their faces while Kylie happily took whatever she wanted from their dishes with no reprimand from their Mum even when she ate two slices of Levi's Cheesecake.

Wow, they really were indulging them.

"Hey, Danny, isn't that Maxx?" Andy nudged him and gestured towards the left side of the room.

Danny's eyebrows furrowed and he looked over in curiosity to see Maxx and a Female Omega who was smiling and looking at him as if he hung the stars; he sighed softly, noticing that his family all stopped eating to peer at him in worry.

"Guys, I'm over Maxx." He smiled at them and when Maxx happened to look over, his eyes connecting with Danny's.

They stared at each other blankly before Danny snorted and smiled at him, even sending him a little wave which he returned.

The female Omega turned her head to look at where Maxx was looking and her eyes connected with Danny's.

Danny sent her a smile then turned back to his family. "I'm happy for him, just like he'll be happy for me when I find The One."

Without another word, he continued eating his Octopus, grinning at the disgusted look Andy shot him.

She hated Seafood and was happily eating her Vegetarian dish which for once didn't consist of purely salad.

He glanced over once more at Maxx and smiled at the sight. He really was happy for Maxx, sure, there was still a part of him which still loved Maxx but the rest of his heart was waiting to be occupied by the love for someone else.

Maxx deserved his happy ending and he wouldn't begrudge him of that.

He simply smiled at the thought of meeting someone who was his perfect Match.

Looking back at his family to see them chattering happily with one another, only one thought stuck out most in his mind.

I can't wait for my happy ending with my own Alpha and children.

A couple days later

Danny was just lounging in the living room, playing one of his modded phone games. There was no way that he was paying for virtual money unless the game blew his mind; his head was lying on Phoebe's lap, his feet on Levi's lap and Andy's head on his stomach.

Kylie was on the lone couch with their Mum sitting at her feet as she brushed her hair.

"I'm gonna make you look pretty, Mummy."

Danny snorted and rolled his eyes at that. She had already done their hair so only their Mum was left while their Dad luckily had no hair on his head to play in.

Kylie was just lucky that Phoebe and Andy let her play in their heads as both of them were pretty anal about their hair being a certain way. Danny and Levi didn't care much and were used to letting her do as she wanted.

*Ding Dong*

Their heads snapped up at the sound of the doorbell and before they could scramble up, their dad stood up with a snort.

What? They had ordered stuff from Ebay and Amazon.

"That better be my waxing kit, I've been waiting two weeks for that." Phoebe muttered, raking her hand through Danny's hair in agitation, unknowingly untangling the knots Kylie had caused.

"What do you expect? If you had look at the estimated time of delivery then you would've known that it said 2-4 weeks," Levi retorted, eyes focused on his phone where he was texting Daisuke.

Danny knew it was Daisuke by the way Levi was biting his lip and placing his phone over his mouth every few minutes to hide his blushing face.

Phoebe just rolled her eyes at him. "Oh shut up and focus on your man."

"Dont worry, I am."

Danny laughed at that.

Their dad came back in the room with a two medium sized boxes, three smaller boxes and a couple letters.

"Delivery for Phoebe, Andy and Levi." Was all he said before all three of his siblings scrambled up, leaving Danny's head to fall back in the couch.

"Bas-" he cut himself off at the look that his Mum sent his way.

Averting his gaze, he looked back at his phone.

"Letter for you, Danny. Seems like it's from the Matching Program."

As soon as he finished speaking, all noise in the room halted and everyone turned to look at him, even Kylie.

Omg! Thanks alot, Dad.

"Uhh, okay. I'll read it later."

He tried his best to ignore their pointed gazes until his Mum's voice broke through the silence.

"Danny Alexander McArthur, you will open that letter and read it right now."

He groaned and turned to look at his Mum, a pout on his lip. "But Muuuuuummmm."

"But Muuuummm," Levi mocked, sticking his tongue out at him. "Just open the letter and we'll leave you alone to cheat people's games in peace."

Danny laughed and rolled his eyes at that; he couldn't help it. He sat up and placed his legs on the floor. "Okay, fine. You guys better not coddle me after I read it."

Even as he said that, he knew that no matter the results, they would still do it and the grin on Andy's face didn't help whatsoever.

"Suuurrreee."

He rolled his eyes at Phoebe then stretched his hand out for the letter which his Dad immediately placed in his hands..

He playfully smacked the letter against his palm, grinning at the impatient looks on the faces of his family.

Don't let that fool you though, he was a nervous wreck inside.

God, these results had the potential to change his life or disappoint him. Don't get him wrong, he would miss his family but he'd been so caught up in the drama with Maxx that his head had always been filled with What ifs. He hadn't had any time to really think about his future unlike his friends who knew what they were going to do and at what age.

He had been stuck in the past with no thoughts on the future and right now, this letter had the potential to kick start or delay his plans and boy was he nervous.

But he knew that if he showed that to his family that they would begin to worry and they would start fussing and worrying about him for nothing.

With this at the forefront of his mind, he released a deep breath and looked down at the letter, starting at the stamp on the front for a couple seconds before he tore it open.

It was no use delaying the inevitable, the contents of the letter would remain the same even if he didn't open it for one hundred years.

It was better to get it over with and plan from there.

"Okay..." He removed the letter from the envelope and dropped said envelope. "Here goes nothing."

To Miss Danny Alexander McArthur

God, it really was starting. It was pretty irritating to know that he was no longer considered a man.

We at the Species Matching Agency would like to congratulate you on a successful Matching at the rate of 98.9% which is considered to be as close to a perfect matching as possible.

Before we reveal the Identity of your Alpha Match, we find it imperative to make you aware that your Alpha is considered to be a very famous Solicitor of the well-known firm Garroway Law Solicitors and as such, you are not to reveal the identity of your Alpha to anyone except immediate family.

Hmm, how interesting. As far as he knew, no one really cared that much about Solicitors unless they were known to cause waves in the everyday life of others. He could name like three Solicitors off the top of his head who had achieved Celebrity status.

If he was matched with one of them then he was fucked. They were all men in their Early twenties and were known to be pretty cold and aloof to everyone, even their work partners. He would need to be on his best behaviour around them as they were the Classic Alpha types.

Classic Alphas were a cut above Traditional Alphas and not to downplay it but they were a cut waaaaaayyyy above Traditional Alphas.

If they were Traditional Alphas then everytime their Omega - because they would never mate with a Beta - made a mistake, they would practically beat them black and blue.

Danny was not up for that, match or not.

It was a good thing that they could also reject their matches because he was not going to be in a Trafitional Alpha/Omega relationship.

Now Classic Alphas on the other hand weren't picky, they didn't mind mating with an Omega or Beta. The only problem with them was that they were the type who wouldn't allow their Omegas or Betas to be completely Independent. They believe that their Omega/Beta's only job should be a Housewife, to be a Mother to their future Pups, the whole shebang. As long as that was understood throughout the relationship then they had an understanding. Sure, their Omega/Beta could do whatever they wanted but at the end of the day, they were the ones responsible of cleaning and managing the home when their Alphas were not around.

Danny preferred them to the Traditional Alphas and to be totally honest, he didn't mind being a Housewife. From what he knew about Classic Alphas, they just wanted to leave work to come home and see their mates there. They didn't want their mates tired because of working those 9 to 5 jobs. They wanted a full time parent, no babysitter.

Oh my God, a babysitter. That job is literally the worst job that you can get in their world. Hardly any Alphas wanted a stranger looking after their pups, even for just five minutes.

They had to really be in a desperate situation if they ever hired a babysitter.

If Danny really ended up with one of them, he wouldn't mind all too much. He was like a freaking Sugar baby, but instead of getting paid to date some rich, old man, he would be given complete access to his Alpha's funds to take care of their necessities and any necessities their future pups would want. He would be responsible for running the home and putting food on the table everyday.

He had to admit, it would be a lot of work and that was the reason why they wouldn't be able to get a job. He would probably be sleeping alot if he tried getting a job.

Ha. As if.

If those Solicitors were anything to go by, then Danny wouldn't so much as sneeze wrong. They were one of the most intimidating Alphas around and they required complete obedience from their mates.

It was very life changing but he was ready.

He wasn't ashamed to say that he would love to be dominated by an Alpha. Getting beaten was not included and if it happened, he would probably be doing the world a service by poisoning the fucker.

His Mum didn't bring him into this world just to be abused by some douchebag Alpha.

Now that we've given you a heads up on your possible Alpha Match, it would be our honour to inform you that your 98.9% Match is Alpha Wolfie Carson Hadrian.

Danny's eyebrows disappeared into his hairline in shock and he looked up at his family to see equally shocked looks on their faces.

"D-D-Did you... Oh my Gosh! Did you just say Wolfie freaking Hadrian?!" Phoebe exclaimed, sitting heavily down on the couch.

Everyone except Kylie looked shocked.

Danny looked down at the results then back at his family.

Damn, did he just jinx himself?

He swallowed noticeably then looked back down at the letter, turning the picture around which had been tacked to it.

"Fuck me." He muttered softly, forgetting where he was.

"Danny!"

Shit!
